INTRODUCTION
The Best of Both Worlds
With two sources of power, a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) gives you all the benefits of a hybrid electric vehicle plus an extended CO2 emissions-free electric-only driving range. So you can do more with less, while reducing carbon emissions along the way.
BENEFITS
Get More. Do More.
HOW IT WORKS
Enhance Your Potential
There is nothing complicated about a PHEV. Just like a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), it has both a gas engine and electric motors, and automatically switches between electric-mode only (EV), gas-mode only, or a seamless combination of both.
Here’s the difference. With its larger battery and more powerful motor, a PHEV allows you to travel further in EV-mode alone than a conventional HEV. Like an HEV, the battery recharges through regenerative braking. You can also choose to plug-in to extend your electric-only driving range.
CHARGING
Power Up for Peak Performance
Charging your PHEV is simple. Just plug it in. At home, at work, or at any public charging station. Charging times depend on whether you are using Level 1 or 2 charging.
